Who are Styrian Austrians?
Styrian Austrians are associated with Styria in southeastern Austria, a region spanning Alpine valleys, Graz, the Mur-Mur river corridor, and borderlands near Slovenia and Hungary.
German is the main language, with regional Styrian dialects and historical links to Slovene-speaking communities near the border. Styrian identity sits between Alpine Austria, Pannonia, and the western edge of the Balkans.
